I have a 2017 RS3. In January I replaced the magride shocks with coilovers. I installed iSweep DCC defeat modules at the time, and everything worked great for 6 months. In early June I started getting an intermittent suspension malfunction warning. It would go away if I restarted the car but it eventually returned. At first it was a couple weeks between warnings, then almost daily. Now it's persistent and returns immediately if I clear the code in VCDS. I replaced the defeat modules with a different brand, no change.
The error is for an open circuit on the front left which suggests to s me it's actually a wiring or control unit issue.
I have an older HEX+CAN USB cable. I know it can't talk to some of the modules in the car, but is it capable enough to code out the DCC in this car, or are there procedures I would need to do that would require a newer cable? What steps would be involved to code out the DCC?
